With Ian St James in the chair, the meeting was called to order at
1:10 pm in Lachine. With the absence of Isabelle St James as Secretary,
the Chairman requested a volunteer to take notes; Carmen Paquin volunteered.

Chairman Ian St James addressed the assembly, explaining that owing
to the circumstances under which the meeting had been called, he asked
the assembly’s permission to deviate from accepted routine and address
the present state of the executive on a priority basis.

At the request of Ian St James, Albert St James addressed the meeting.
He explained that Isabelle St James had requested of him that he communicate
a message to the assembly on her behalf. He read a prepared statement
to the effect that, because of other commitments and travel distance, Isabelle
St James wished to inform those present that she would no longer attend
meetings or participate in the activities of the Feller reunion committees
but would possibly be available as a volunteer with the decorating committee.

Following the receipt of this information from Albert St James, it was
moved by Peter Donaldson and seconded by Mike Lacombe, that the assembly
withdraw the appointments of Isabelle St James to any and all positions
on the committees and declare the positions vacant. The motion was
carried.

APPOINTMENT OF SECRETARY

The position of Secretary now being vacant, the Chairman called for
nominations. Art Grannary nominated Carmen Paquin. There being
no further nominations; Carmen Paquin was appointed by acclamation.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA

Due to the extraordinary circumstances of the meeting, no formal agenda
was adopted and matters were dealt with on the basis of “business arising.”

ADOPTION OF MINUTES – 28 December 2000, Meeting # 3

The minutes as rewritten by Chairman Ian St James were formally adopted
without modification.

FINANCIAL REPORT

before, did not present her financial report.

BUSINESS ARISING

Condolences

At the initiation of Jean Claude Girodo, the entire assembly expressed
its condolences to Anne Durling-Bordeleau on the very recent passing of
her father, which is why she was out of town.

Reunion Date

In response to queries by some members of the alumni, and expressions
of concern by some members of the committee that more time was needed,
the committee reviewed the previously selected date of Friday, Saturday,
Sunday, 19th, 20th, 21st of October 2001. Following discussion, there
was a motion to move the reunion date to 2002. The motion was defeated.
Following further discussion, there was a motion to confirm the original
date of 19, 20, 21 October 2001. This motion was carried unanimously.

Accommodations Committee Report

Arthur Grannary informed the assembly that the accommodations committee
would review all available options and present the committee with a comprehensive
report and recommendations in due course.

Peter Donaldson suggested a local military base. He agreed to
research the option and forward the results of his findings to the accommodations
committee for consideration.

Search Committee Report

Carmen Paquin, Search Committee Chairman, submitted a report of the
difficulties encountered trying to find upwards of 3,000 people, especially
women, and that much assistance is necessary. Cross searching-reference
is necessary for accuracy, and to be sure we don’t leave anyone out.
Volunteers are requested to get in touch with her so that she may show
people how to do it and subsequently assign search subcommittees.
We need a committed attendance list as soon as possible so that we may
know how many Fellerites to plan for. A list of names of those who
plan to attend is posted on the website.

Other Business

Two songs were suggested as possible theme songs. Jean Claude
Girodo suggested “Power of a Dream” with moving lyrics by Céline
Dion. Ian St James suggested “When I’m Sixty Four” by the Beatles.

Jocelyne Auclair commented on the perception of outsiders who might
refer to our website. Her remarks suggested a clearer delineation
between informal “chat” styles and our minutes in order to present a more
business-like appearance for non-Fellerites. Her comments met with
the approval of the assembly and the Chairman who agreed to work with Rick
Elger on reviewing the layout and presentation on the website.

Art Grannary moved that in order to minimize errors and/or omissions,
the committee should adopt the practice of having the Secretary provide
the attendees a review of the minutes at the end of each meeting.
In discussion, Jocelyne Auclair further suggested that the executive should
review and approve the final draft of the minutes prior to posting.
This was seconded by Albert St James and carried unanimously.

NEXT MEETING

The location of the next meeting will be at the Relais Gouverneur Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
The date for this meeting is to be determined by the executive in consultation
with the subcommittees.

ADJOURNMENT

The Secretary presented the assembly with her overview of the minutes
which were found acceptable by all. The meeting was adjourned at
4:50 pm.
